New Oakland Bay Bridge Opening Drive

I've been wondering for a while now if folks might be interested in setting up a drive on the new Oakland Bay Bridge when it opens (hopefully) on Labor Day.
I think that would be an awesome sight to see a whole lot of EVs on the bridge's first day! Maybe we could even invite Nissan Leafs and any other EVs along.
It would certainly get lots of news coverage!

Anyone who goes to Burningman and stays for the whole time won't be able to make it on Labor day. I don't know the overlap between burners and Tesla owners, but it's definitely not zero. Tesla parked a mockup of the roadster near the man in 2007 (although it looked less impressive when it was covered in dust). And the "google doodle" originated as kind of an "out of office" announcement when most of the early staff took the week off and went to burningman.

Now the Labor Day opening is back on! However, there's a twist. It is scheduled to open at 5:00am on Tuesday, the day after Labor Day... No, I don't want to be there when it opens at 5:00am. Maybe there will be a special event the next weekend?
